Dr. Mariya Khambati of Park Vue Dental Practice, London says:

Diabetes is the biggest risk factor for gum disease. This includes type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Periodontal disease ( gum diseases) tends to be more aggressive especially if plaque control is poor and other factors such as poor dental restoration.
Diabetes does not affect dental decay
Root canal treatments can fail as reinfection can be a problem especially if root canals were done without a rubber dam
Implants have high failure rates with diabetics
Patients with diabetes should have a recall at least every 6 months although we tend to put them on a 4 month recall
Diabetes exaggerates perio disease which in turn increases cytokines production which then makes the diabetes worse
Diabetic patient should have hba1c test regularly which is a better indicator of diabetes than the blood glucose levels testing
